Artist statement from Bill Seaman:

" I got a note from Stephen. As the consummate archiver he had inherited a tape of an interview with me in 1985 done with Kevin Concannon, in particular about my music production. He points out that in it I mention “a device called a digital delay” that I had been exploring. A Deltalab Effectron II Digital Delay, which let you make little short 1 second loops and manually inject other sounds among other things – nice kind of kluge aesthetic. We knew each other through Electronic Arts Intermix where Stephen worked for some time. I had started out as a Video Artist exploring Image/Music /text relations.   I had liked Stephen’s work in the past with Molly Berg called “Between You and the Shapes You Take.” I also enjoyed “Captiva” with Taylor Deupree. More recently I had started a collaboration with Michael Grigoni (who lives here in Durham, NC) that was put on pause due to his course schedule. Stephen sent me his lovely album with Grigoni – “Slow Machines.” So I wrote Stephen a note and asked “Would love to collaborate with you if you ever feel like it!” and he responded “Sure, I'd be happy to work on something together. Let me know what you're thinking - or when something feels like a time and idea to start. I can generate some material and send it your way, or just as happy if you want to send me something.” He sent me some things.

  I had just completed working with a very good recording engineer on some new piano recordings, which I edited into short sample libraries, which I in turn sent to him. I often use these to build up my tracks in a very physical manner in Ableton live, often exploring chance relations and juxtapositions, then choosing what I feel “works”. Later I sent him some other things – DX7 and analogue synth.

We started working on both our own linear tracks with the materials and others, and also exploring the re-arrangement of each other’s work samples juxtaposed with some other parts of the library of materials. Stephen also began to include some found sound that was quite lovely.   I was hoping he might convince Molly Berg to contribute – I really love her sound.

Stephen sent me acoustic guitar, some ebow which I love, and some experimental abstraction of guitar. Later he sent some tracks with Molly on them. We both went at the material and did a series of back and forths. Stephen arranged some of my Piano samples into a lovely repetitive long work which is the center of our digital release. I went back in and further arranged the arrangement and added some new layers. Stephen added Banjo in one case to the album material…in any event we seemed to find a good method of sending, experimenting and responding to each other – then moving forward with the best of those digital volleys."

スイスの実験音楽家Zimounが、2022年5月にオーストラリアの実験レーベルRoom40からリリースしたCDです。レーベルオーナーLawrence Englishとの対談や写真を掲載したブックレットが付属。以下、作家による解説です。この「Guitar Studies」シリーズでは、ギターが発する音やノイズだけを扱ってきました。ギターを手で弾くというオーソドックスな方法もありますが、それよりも小型のDCモーターで作動させたりすることの方が多かったです。レコーディングには様々なマイクを使用し、ピックアップの接触も緩く、アンプも様々なものを使用しました。部分的に欠陥のある小さなおもちゃのアンプから、60年代のアナログトレモロ付きの美しいマグナトーンアンプ、10歳の時に初めてギターと一緒に買った古いフェンダーアンプなどです。また、録音した音を段ボールの筒の中や広さの違う部屋など、様々な環境で再生して、録音し直しました。そうすることで、音に自然な響きや空間性を持たせることができました。また、テーブルの上に置いた裸のスピーカー膜にギターの信号を送り、膜の上に砂を載せて歪ませた音も作りました。膜と砂の摩擦によって、さまざまな形の歪みが生まれます。ギターをどのように変形させるか、様々な反復のプロセスを試したのです。どの作品でもループは使っていません。各作品の各レイヤーについて、約1時間の間、私が探っていたものをすべて録音しました。このようにして、私は数え切れないほどの時間の音をまとめました。ほとんど無限に続くオーバーレイと長い録音時間によって、私はある種の活気を達成しようとしました。全く同じということはないけれど、どこかに行ってしまうということもない。そういう意味で、これらの作品は彫刻的な要素も強く持っています。このプロセスの後、私は録音の微細構造について作業を始めました。例えば、いくつかの曲でイコライザーをゆっくりずらしながら録音していきました。また、これらを様々なコントローラーやアナログ・イコライザーを使ってライブ演奏しました。このアプローチによって、個々の周波数が長い時間をかけて存在感を増したり、他の周波数と混ざり合ったりするようになりました。比喩的に言えば、これはランプ（または様々なランプ）を使って彫刻を様々な角度から照らしたり、光の緩やかな変化を作り出し、彫刻の知覚に影響を与えるのと似ています。また、異なる音のステージでは、これはさらに音響心理学的な現象を引き起こすことができます。これらの方法を通して、私は音の微細な構造とその展開に複雑さを生み出そうとしました。レーベルその他作品はこちら /// Click here to see more Room40 releases available at Tobira....

I didn’t realise it at the time, but this engagement would spark a number of connections that tie directly into this edition. Following that live performance (released as Powerhouse Sessions in 2002), I was invited to curate a performance series, Fabrique, focused on new and emergent musics for Brisbane Powerhouse. At the same time, DJ Olive mentioned that he had started a new imprint, Phonomena, with Toshio Kajiwara and one of the first releases they were planning was from Aki Onda, whom Olive described as using a set of Walkmans that make a whole universe.
